Wooohoooo!!!!! Bernie babies are coming!!!! Hold em nice and gentle, but firm like a football you don’t want to fumble. LOL And as your darling wife screams insults and curses the day you dared fertilize her eggs, smile and tell her you love her or she will castrate you by hand. It’s a labor thing.
Good luck Bernie!

Many congratz!!We’ve just discovered Alien Loves Predator (from the VG Cats links section..).
We read through all of them, didn’t expect such a normal life though :D. Wish you all the best and a nice time, looking forward to the next episode,
Greetz Vale and BF

Hi Bernie! Me and a bunch of friends all just discovered you a couple weeks ago and we love you and Abe and Preston! Good luck with your kiddies, hope everything goes smoothly and healthy and stuff. Congradulations! Seeya when you get back!

Hope all is well. I can imagine no greater joy than having not one but two beings with whith to spend the next 20 years corrupting with my ideals, then unleashing the upon the world. Have fun with that.

I don’t know if it’s been brought up, but Acheood is a fantastic web comic.
Chris just had a baby himself and keeps baby updates right on the front page. Quite amusing.

Wow, freaky coincidence. You know I found out last night that my older sister had her baby yesterday, and I was talking to a friend over MSN and was saying that it was a coincidence because her mother was being taken to the hospital for birth in less than an hour or two.

And if you’re wondering yeah, I may be a first time poster, but that’s only because I’m the kind of person to usually jsut enjoy things quietly.

The birth of your children have got me off my backside and I’ve finally registered for the forum! Hooray for your kids!
Could anyone guess what the the first thing I thought of yesterday once I realised what the date was… Twins are being born! Half-way across the world from me! (I’m in aust.) To someone who doesn’t even know I exist!

And I was excited! Congratulations!

I hope that at least one will turn out to be a comic artist so one day my kids will be entertained too…once they exist…but never mind that now.

I hope for both parents and children that the birth has been easy and uncomplicated and nothing like how Aliens are born :P

So now the congrats are over I have a quick question for those who know more about predators than I do…how are Predators born? Maybe this should be answered in a comic…

And btw Bernie, thanks heaps for all the work you put into Alien Loves Predator, I think it’s obvious we all appreciate you from the forums, and then there’s the slack asses like me who admire from a distance and never let you know…You have more followers than you think, scary huh?

I MEAN that until the kids reach a much more advanced age than 2 or 3, kids and cats don’t mix all that well in general. They can’t figure out that pulling a cat’s tail, carrying it around by the neck and so on are not good for kitty, and when kitty eventually demonstrates dislike for that kind of treatment by going from 0 to puree in 1.8 seconds, the cat invariably gets blamed for it. I wouldn’t suggest a cat to anyone with a child under the age of about 8 for all those reasons.

And I the hell think that’s some kind of pointy eared cartoon animal in a helmet that covers its entire head in your avatar. If it’s a cat, delightful. It could be damn well anything, and since I have no clue whatsoever where it came from, I’m not likely to be able to identify it on sight.

I had cats while both of my kids were babies! I just made sure the kids were taught what to do and what not to do…if that didn’t sink in, the first “puree” cycle did. :D

I’ve seen (and been involved in) a few too many incidents to think it’s a real great idea. Yeah, some kids *can* handle it; some kids can handle writing symphonies at age 11, too, but that doesn’t mean the majority can, you know?

I’ve seen 2 cats have to have their tails amputated because children thought tails were convenient carrying handles. I saw a kid pull my first cat off a windowsill by her tail and get bitten for it, the only time in 20 years I can recall that cat biting. My current cat does bite, often and at very little provocation, and still I’ve been called names by mothers who thought it was cute how their little demon spawns chased the cat around the house in spite of warnings ranging from “My cat is very unfriendly,” to “Get your kid off my cat NOW.” It was cute until she got cornered and did the furry hurricane routine; then *I* was suddenly the careless bitch somehow.

Yeah, I knew a couple of kids who did fine with my cats; my first was cool around kids who didn’t hurt her, but my current still detests kids across the board, and that’s a consideration, too. Kids can be as nice as salmon pie to cats, and some cats *still* aren’t going to like them (Same holds true for just about any kind of animal.). Kitty’s feelings on the matter count too.

Someone who blames their cat for their child’s behaviour is not very good…

I mean, come on!! It’s not the cat’s fault!!

I once stuck all the cats we had ((two)) in a sleeping bag and was dragging it around so I could pet them at will. I decided to pet one. I got bitten by my one cat, who would never have done that otherwise, and I still have the scar to this day. Albeit a bit stretched. And it wasn’t his fault, it was mine.

Anyone who says otherwise is a dimwit. You just have to teach your kids that kitty is not a chew-toy.

And come running if you ever hear them say “belly button” while playing with the cat. They like to poke things.

Some cats are really good with children, and are good playmates. Cuddlez.

Cats do not understand why a small human would be poking it, so when the baby doesn’t get the hint to stop, the cat must use physical means to get the message across. The cat is only acting in self-defence, not malice.

This is the normal way cats act. It’s not thier fault. Wouldn’t you punch a guy in the face when he harrasses you? Exactly. Would you harm him otherwise? Unless your a complete dickhead, no. And cats who are born dickheads are very, very rare.

Dogs are alot more child friendly, anyway. They’re alot bigger and harder to piss off. I mean, you pull a dogs tail, he spins around and gives you a look. You pull a cat’s tail, you’re in the ER within half an hour.

Also, in hindsight, I think cats are a lot more mysterious to small children. When I was seven or so, I went over to a friends house. It wasn’t very fun, all I did was _watch_ him play video games. So I went downstairs, and tried to pet their cat. I did something wrong, like try to scratch its ears or something, and the thing scratched me pretty hard. I couldn’t figure out why, I didn’t harm it or anything.

yeah, I’m a dog person.

edit: continue cats conversation in general BS, I don’t like having two consecutive but unrelated conversations in the same thread.

First off, have fun with being a parent, it was probably hell for your parents, so its gonna be hell for you. And a big dog with charp teeth is not a good idea with small children, one poke in the eye, and your minus one kid.

Cats are better with children than dogs. Just spray them with water if they do something wrong, and they’ll soon stop doing it. As well, big dogs might mistake a baby for a chewtoy. And they smell. And they’re DIRTY. And they slobber. Cats are like dogs, but better.

Dammit, I JUST realized that was you! Hey, Dogmeat. Can I tell them your real name? Real last name? Your crappy website? O.o Hah, you spent two hours on a truck for a flash movie.

Why would you think I’d burn you for implying I meant the kid? I’m all for sarcastic humour!

That was actually a more general “you” than one pointed to the specific you :) The m.o. around here lately seems to be treating sarcasm like it’s literal; hell, that’s gotten so old, I’ve started doing it on purpose in protest ;)
